The Pumpa is a blend of Eden Valley Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz, named as a tribute to Len Pumpa and his fellow Eden Valley Vignerons who pioneered and persisted in one of Australia's most challenging but rewarding viticultural regions. Eden Valley had a mix of British and continental European settlers that tried their hand at grape-growing. When times were tough particularly in the 1920s many turned away from viticulture, however the Prussian settlers like Len persisted in the face of difficulty.
